trays, vegetables or dessert. When you call with your

doesn’t bring broccoli or cheese cake! Christmas
music will be played on a casual basis throughout the

with prizes, and the event will conclude with our tra-

Members, no charge; all others $5
It’s a bird… It’s a plane… No, it’s Kevin Utter, fly-
ing south from Ft. Collins just in time to check that
everyone sprung forward an hour for Daylight Sav-
ings Time. Kevin will astound you with his mastery
of our Allen 4/33 digital theatre organ (four manuals,
thirty-three ranks), performing complex popular and
sacred selections with attention to the secondary
melodies and inner harmonies that add unique depth
to his beautiful arrangements. Kevin has been the or-
ganist at Christ United Methodist Church since 1995.
Consider yourself one of the family!
“Please sir, I want some Morris” Sunday, May 15th 2 pm
Holiday Hills Ballroom
Members, no charge; all others $5
The incomparable Randy Morris will serve up a
heaping-helping of his tasty tunes in May. Randy’s
musical background includes positions as a church
organist, pizza-parlor organist and as an organ sales-
man. We’ve heard Randy at Holiday Hills as a solo
artist and in partnership with his Brighton church
musician friends last October at “Got Gospel?”
A Holiday Hills audience of 60 kept five organists
on their toes at the November social playing a wide
variety of requests. Organists Jim Calm, Bob Castle,
Bob Flinn, DeLoy Goeglein and Lee Traster coun-
tered with “Stump the Audience” and finished with
a rowdy “ten-handed” “Stars & Stripes Forever.”
Bev Bucci and friends Debbie Cornella, Betty Metz,
Randy Morris, Lee Shaw and Bev’s son Jerry Bucci
raised the rafters and filled 75 appreciative music-lovers
into the Holiday Hills pews at our October social for an-
other inspiring round of “Got Gospel?” There were songs
of faith and encouragement and traditional hymns per-
formed on piano, theatre organ, trombone and drums.
“Mile High Banjo Society” The Mile High Banjo Society put smiles on 100 au-
dience faces at our September club social. The
MHBS played a well-received program of traditional
Dixieland and jazz standards, and included some fun
vocals and several theatre organ and piano duets.

The FROOGies were invited to view the Brewer Family
Car Collection in Wheat Ridge on a Saturday in October.
Rod Brewer Senior and Rod Junior were on hand to wel-
come us and talk about their outstanding collection.
Two Touring Organs were rolled in for music-making.
Jim Calm performed and there was open-console time.
Caddie Cousins! Cadillac only made 400 of the very ex-
clusive 1957 Eldorado Brougham. Here’s one of them!
The Brewers especially favor Cadillacs and Chrysler 300
alphabet cars. All of their cars are driven and enjoyed,
and the FROOGies certainly enjoyed seeing automotive
history up close. Rods Jr. and Sr. are theatre pipe organ
fans and attend events at the Paramount theatre. We ap-
preciated the Brewers’ hospitality and look forward to
spending more time together. We will schedule more
Front Range Organ Owners Group activities. Contact Jim
Calm (303-989-3671) if you would like to join our group,
or if you have a suggestion for our next field trip!
